Detection of Dysplasia in Barrett's Esophagus With In Vivo Depth-Resolved Nuclear Morphology Measurements

Abstract: Background & Aims-Patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) show increased risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma and are routinely examined using upper endoscopy with biopsy to search for neoplastic changes. Angle-resolved low coherence interferometry (a/LCI) uses in vivo depth-resolved nuclear morphology measurements to detect dysplasia. We assessed the clinical utility of a/LCI in the endoscopic surveillance of BE patients.

“…The combination of gating and difference in spectral behavior allows the epithelial nuclear scattering spectrum to be isolated in the processed light scattering spectroscopy (LSS) signal. A significant contribution from nuclear backscattering and clear correlation of dysplasia with nuclear size has been demonstrated in earlier studies 1216,2224 . Direct comparison of the nuclear size distribution extracted from the backscattering signal to that of histological examination of the corresponding H&E stained sections was also demonstrated 17,18 .…”

“…As shown previously, these correlation lengths are roughly consistent with the cell nucleus size and cell to cell spacing [7]. However, simple Fourier based analysis using the correlation function analysis provides limited resolution (1.7 μm and 2.7 μm in θ 1 , and θ 2 directions in theory, but 6 μm and 3 μm measured) which may not be sufficient to discriminate the subtle nuclear size changes that reveal early cancer [3]. The size of the scatterers at the ROI was determined to be 9.7 μm in diameter, with index of the refraction of nuclei to be 1.43 and that of surrounding to be 1.37.…”

“…All the animal procedures for both the animal models were approved by the Duke Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC). In the rat model, an esophagogastroduodenal anastomosis (EGDA) is performed to create chronic reflux of bile salts and stomach acid, mimicking reflux driven Barrett's Esophagus in humans [3]. Sprague Dawley rats were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA) at 5-6 weeks of age.…”

“…Due to these benefits, PAE [1,2] and other minimally invasive imaging techniques based on PAT [6,17,18] have been intensely developed for applications in such clinical areas as the cardiovascular [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], gastrointestinal [2,26,27], and urogenital [28][29][30][31] systems. These techniques are expected to provide a useful complement to other endoscopic modalities, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) [32,33], endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) [34][35][36][37][38][39][40], confocal endoscopy [41,42], and endoscopic polarized scanning spectroscopy [43,44].…”
